Should I be concerned about this Green BTA? Included was a picture of the other live stock/corals. Everything seems to be okay it ate I normally feed every two days (mysis or a chunk of shrimp). Parameters are well within good ranges.

Lighting is pretty moderate to be quite honest I’m using the aquaknight one from Amazon. So it’s set 60% blues and 40% whites. Flow is the regular duckbills on my fluval evo and a wave maker suctioned to the back wall aimed at the front glass. I’ve noticed it moves around to its own accord. Parameters are all within normal range from what I’ve read on this site.I don't think so. How's your lighting, flow and water parameters?
I introduced it about 2 weeks ago. It was all bubbly and nice haha clowns hosted it the day after. I noticed today after feeding it my clowns grabbed the piece of shrimp and pulled it away. Lights are 60% blues and 40% whites not terribly bright. Not dim. Will post an update tonightAssure salinity not high, water flow and light moderate. light is tricky. . . . . Not bright nor dim - Balance it
Its not abnormal looking especially if just introduced
Edit: I have noticed this lack of bubble tips as I call it after starting to add Kent Nano Reef A&B. May stop that and see what happensShould I be concerned about this Green BTA?

Are you testing your alkalinity and calcium? If not you shouldn’t be dosing a 2 part, when added to maintain a stable DKH and calcium level it won’t affect any of your corals or anemones negatively, but if you’re dosing it without testing who knows whether it’s too much or if it’s stable. What are your other parameters and are they stable? I think your light is probably a little under powered, I would slowly (over a couple weeks) turn it up. I would also stop feeding it so much and so often. Really, once a week is good, but if it’s stressed or not doing well I would hold off on feeding it until it’s doing better. Also, when you do feed it, you want to give it really small pieces, either some mysis or a pea sized piece of table shrimp. Feeding it too often or too much just costs it energy and resources (it burns more calories/resources digesting all that food than it gets from the food) and when it’s already stressed, trying to feed it will just stress it out even more.Edit: I have noticed this lack of bubble tips as I call it after starting to add Kent Nano Reef A&B.

Would throwing in my chemipure elite packet help with getting that down after I stop the Kent dosing?Kent can raise Phosphates mainly- could be a contributor
It would but first determine if there is a need to do soWould throwing in my chemipure elite packet help with getting that down after I stop the Kent dosing?
Awesome here’s what it looks like todayIt would but first determine if there is a need to do so
